If the opposite were true the insurance companies would get crucified. How is it not gender discrimination?

Has it been challenged in court?

Men probably have a higher rate of accidents. Same reason health insurance is higher for women. They can get pregnant and that costs a shite ton of money

I do find this humorous because girls are supposed to be better drivers. Almost all the girls I knew in high school got in at least one wreck.

Cuz when they see my truck nuts draggin' across the concrete, they know that I'm just a no-limit adrenaline junkie with a mild case of alcoholism and erectile dysfunction.

You just can't tame this horse.

The argument is that statistically men get in more accidents than women, espcially single men under 25.

I have no idea if thats actually true though.

Statistics. I do think it's funny about the guy in Canada or wherever who changed his gender due to new laws purely to save money on car insurance

Men crash more but less per mile driven. Women are shittier drivers but drive less.

How many times have you heard a woman say “hold my beer and watch this.”

I don't know but my son and I are now identifying as women.

A man in Alberta has just demonstrated how easy it is to change the gender on his birth certificate from male to female to save over $1000 annually in automobile insurance premiums, even though he is not transgender nor a transvestite, nor did he seem to make any attempt to change his appearance or mannerism to appear more like a woman.

I have been wondering about this for years. I also don’t understand how it’s legal to have women-only gyms.

It’s not discrimination if the one being discriminated against is white or male. Duh.

Women want equality when it benefits them. You will never see feminists protest unfair car insurance rates.
